Bionic Era

The banquet was actually not too noisy.

Everyone was talking in low voices, and there were occasional sounds of clinking glasses.

The middle-aged woman knew very little about Xia Chuluo.

The information she had only said that Xia Chuluo was a girl with short hair.

But the girl in front of me has long hair.

So she didn't react immediately.

She knew that the chance of escaping was very small, so she begged for mercy: "Miss Xia, I was really short of money back then, my child..."

"Here it is again..." Xia Chuluo shook her head, "I found that you always like to use your family as an excuse, but before you lie, you should think carefully about whether you have family or not."

Seeing that this trick was useless, the middle-aged woman immediately changed her mind.

She felt that as one of the participants in the assassination that year, she must still have some use value.

"Miss Xia, I know who those participants were at that time. If you are willing to let me go, I can tell you everything and help you find those people."

"Sorry, Luo Ruyan gave me all these materials before he died."

The woman's face became ugly again.

She could only hear her cursing in a low voice: "Luo Ruyan, this old fox, will drag others on his shoulders when he dies. I knew that I should have killed him when I had the chance."

"I killed for you, so you can thank me." Xia Chuluo said lightly.

"Miss Xia, the specifications of this banquet are quite high-end. The organizer has arranged a lot of security personnel, and the participants are all rich people. You can take a look around you, and there are many people who seem to have nothing to do among them. human bodyguard."

The woman tried to look calmer.

The surrounding environment is actually in her favour.

"Once someone draws a gun... no, even if he just draws out a table knife and shows the willingness to attack, he will be shot and killed by the people around him immediately," the woman said.

"Of course I know."

Xia Chuluo pointed to the wine glass in the woman's hand.

"This is the second glass of wine you drank at the banquet today. This glass of wine is very clean and there is nothing else."

The woman's expression changed drastically.

"You poisoned my first glass of wine?"

"Guess what kind of poison it is, how long does it take to attack?"

Xia Chuluo glanced at her lightly, then turned and left.

Judging by her appearance, she must be quite poisonous.

"Miss Xia, I was wrong, please give me the antidote, I can help you kill those people, they all know me, they won't be too wary of me..."

The woman begged in a low voice, and grabbed Xia Chuluo's arm.

But Xia Chuluo threw it away without even looking back, and walked straight to the door.

A trace of resentment flashed in the woman's eyes, and her face became ferocious.

"Since I can't live today, then don't even think about leaving alive!"

"Snapped--!"

She smashed the wine glass in her hand.

The colorless wine wet the red carpet, smearing a dull red color, as if the blood hadn't dried up.

Splashes of glass scattered all over the place.

This place immediately attracted the targets of everyone present at the banquet.

The woman pulled out the gun that had been hidden in her inner thigh, pointed the cold muzzle at Xia Chuluo who was walking towards the door.

"Miss, be careful!"

Someone exclaimed.

There were indeed quite a few bodyguards present.

One of them was quite close to Xia Chuluo, and it was a bionic person.

Seeing that human beings were threatened with their lives, the first law of bionics engraved in the program made him immediately take a step forward and stand in front of her.

"boom--"

"Bang—bang—"

Several shots were fired in succession.

Almost at the same time.

The first shot came from the woman, and the spinning bullet accurately hit the bionic man standing in front of Xia Chuluo, causing blue blood to fly in the air.

The remaining sounds came from the bodyguards at the scene.

The few bullets hit the woman's abdomen, and the blood that overflowed instantly dyed the light blue cheongsam red, and she fell to the ground in pain.

The organs in the abdomen have been shattered by the huge impact.

"Miss, are you okay?" The bionic man looked down at the blue blood on his chest. There were still many minutes before the machine was completely shut down, and it was a customized security model anyway.

"It's okay, thank you very much."

Xia Chuluo smiled slightly, held up her little skirt, bowed slightly, and performed an elegant etiquette.

The bionic immediately felt it was worth it.

It has been turned on for such a long time, and it is the first time to be saluted by humans.

"Who is your employer?" Xia Chuluo asked.

"It's me." A middle-aged businessman replied with a smile.

"Please fix him." Xia Chuluo handed out a bank card with a password already written on it.

"Of course it will be repaired. What happened today is enough to show his loyalty to human beings. I can safely take him with me in the future." The middle-aged man rejected Xia Chuluo's bank card. He is not short of this money.

The two exchanged business cards.

Even if you know each other.

Xia Chuluo walked to the place where the middle-aged woman fell down.

At this time, the woman was dying, her eyes were loose, and she saw the girl standing in front of her gradually blurred vision.

She suddenly figured out one thing.

"That glass of wine..."

Her first glass of wine.

It wasn't poisoned at all.

Xia Chuluo said that on purpose, just to make her cornered, push her to a corner, let her draw her gun, and let all the security personnel present see her intention to attack.

It's a pity that it's too late.

She was very unwilling, and felt that she had been played around by Xia Chuluo from the beginning to the end. Xia Chuluo even knew that the bodyguard was a bionic person, so he deliberately walked over there.

But no matter how unwilling he is, he can only die with this unwillingness.

"This woman looks familiar, let me check."

A security-type bionic man stepped forward and said.

"She is a very famous killer. What she is best at is to attack the target at the banquet and use the panicked crowd to escape. She is still on the most wanted list in Central City, and the bounty is quite high."

He turned to look at Xia Chuluo.

"Miss, her target today is probably you. You need to think about whether you have provoked any enemies recently."

"I will. I will investigate carefully when I get back. I'll take care of you."

Xia Chuluo smiled slightly, turned and left the banquet.

A luxury car was parked at the door, and someone opened the door for her.

Everyone at the banquet felt that this young face was quite strange.

However, many people from other places have come to the central city recently, all for the one hundred invitation letters, and it is not surprising that there are strange faces.

After getting in the car, Xia Chuluo took off the wig.

She simply wiped off the makeup on her face with a tissue.

"Amazing, really amazing."

Fatty Jiang sat in the co-pilot and praised sincerely.

"Miss Xia, the fact that you can kill a person with just a few words reminds me of your father. He was also like that at the time. You can provoke countless forces to fight with just a few words."

"Don't talk about these useless things, have you found the second target?" Xia Chuluo asked.

"The second target must have received the news, so I packed up my equipment just now, and now I am driving towards the direction of the city, and the speed is quite fast."

The roads in Central City are narrow.

The general vehicle speed has nothing to do with the word "fast".

The news of Luo Ruyan's death could not be concealed at all.

After he came to Central City, he has been making great fanfare, recruiting troops, contacting his old buddies, and forming a team.

Many people knew that he was trying to deal with someone, but they didn't know who it was.

As for the participants in that incident back then, they all knew that his target was Xia Chuluo.

But not many people knew that Xia Chuluo had come to Central City.

Luo Ruyan's death reminded those people.

"The second target... He is very cautious. He was not on the wanted list in Central City before this, but just ten minutes ago, that guy was wanted because he violated the traffic rules in Central City."

"Can we catch up?"

"Of course, don't doubt Lu Wen's driving skills."

Lu Wen was speechless and drove silently.

An hour later, everyone in the team came to the edge of the city and changed into four-wheel drive vehicles that are most suitable for driving in no-man's land.

They did not violate traffic rules, but chose some roads that were not too congested.

Now it is half an hour behind the second goal.

"Half an hour... I hope we can catch up." Someone in the team said.

"Don't worry, I've been following his car. Although the guy was very cautious, removed the positioning device on the car, and even the mobile phone was specially modified, but he certainly didn't expect that the collector's edition mechanical watch he was wearing, There’s also positioning inside.”

The manufacturer of that watch is quite responsible.

After all, the price is high, so the manufacturer has added a positioning system to the watch. If the buyer is threatened by some kind of life, he can contact the manufacturer urgently through the watch.

In this chaotic era, after-sales service not only protects products, but may also save lives.

But the second target most likely doesn't know.

He took this watch from a dead man.

"He stopped suddenly, probably because he thought he had escaped far enough that we couldn't find him," Fatty Jiang said.

"This is a good opportunity. I thought I would chase it for several days."

Everyone in the team breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speed ​​up the car, hurry over and finish him off, there are still many people on Miss Xia's list."

"Just follow Lu Wen, he won't get lost in no man's land."

Lu Wen will always be at the forefront of this kind of action where many people cross no man's land.

It went on like this for about twenty minutes.

Xia Chuluo suddenly stopped the entire convoy.

"Okay, close enough that the guy should know he has a locator on his watch," she said to the group.

"Miss Xia means that the man took off the watch on purpose and used it as a bait, waiting for us to find him?"

"right."

As for the locator for dismantling the vehicle, use a modified cell phone.

These behaviors may be used to confuse everyone.

Let everyone think that he is indeed running for his life.

But in reality...he wanted to fight back.

"As an experienced mercenary, he must know that running for his life is not an option. He will be found one day, so he may have thought from the very beginning how to destroy our entire team." Xia Chuluo said.

"If you guessed right, he escaped with two cars, one off-road and one mountain bike, but the motorcycle was in his compartment."

That SUV can be used as bait.

Leave the watch in the car.

Then install a sufficient amount of explosives around the body.

"The wind around here is quite strong. After he arranges the scene, he can escape on that motorcycle. In a few minutes, the wind and sand will bury the wheel marks of the motorcycle."

Lu Wen's eyesight is pretty good.

Through the wind and sand all over the sky, he could see a canyon in the distance.

A very abrupt canyon, with jagged rocks and violent sand and dust flying in the canyon.

He described what he saw to everyone.

"In this way, he is planning to use that canyon to bury us." Fatty Jiang said.

"Then where would he be himself?"

"Above the canyon, he will definitely not leave at ease, so he will definitely watch us fall into the trap, and make up the gun at the right time, and even if everything goes well, he can show up triumphantly and mock those who are still alive among us .”

Dealing with such a dangerous opponent requires careful consideration of every step.

Even the top of that canyon could be a trap.

So it was time for Lu Wen to take the lead in testing the danger again.

"Brother Lu Wen, if you are tricked by that guy and unfortunately die, I will burn a beautiful paper figurine wife for you every year." Fatty Jiang patted him on the shoulder.

That tone was full of emotion from Yi Shuihan.

"If nothing goes wrong, I can actually attend each of your funerals and never grow old." Lu Wen said lightly.

"Hey! You bionics are comfortable, eternal life."

Lu Wen set off.

Everyone was waiting for his good news.

After driving for a few minutes, the face of the canyon gradually became clear.

The car was parked in the center of the canyon. The driver's seat was opened, and there seemed to be a person inside. Wisps of white smoke floated out of the driver's seat and were blown away by the wind in the canyon.

An ordinary person might think that the person in the driver's seat is resting and smoking.

But Lu Wen didn't drive in, but drove straight up the canyon.

It was a steep incline, but luckily his car had plenty of horsepower.

"Om—!"

Before approaching the top, the roar of a motorcycle was heard.

The man knew that his plan had been seen through, so he fled decisively.

Before fleeing, he detonated all the bombs buried in the canyon in an attempt to make it difficult for Lu Wen to pursue.

"Boom!"

The rocks on both sides of the canyon began to roll down.

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the flames soared into the sky.

The smoke and dust are quite serious, and the entire canyon is filled with loess and sandstone.

on the other side.

Everyone in Xia Chuluo's team heard the explosion.

At the same time, he also heard the news from Lu Wen.

"It's safe, the guy ran away on his motorcycle and I'm chasing him."

Everyone got into the car one after another, chasing after him.

The explosion did cause a lot of trouble for Lu Wen. The top of the canyon collapsed a lot, and all the rocks rolled into the canyon.

So much so that after he drove out of the collapsed place, the figure on the motorcycle had turned into a small dot.

It's hard to hit with a gun at such a distance.

So we can only keep chasing.

"Don't worry too much, our battery life is much stronger than his, and he will be killed by all the energy consumed." A member of the team said with a smile.

"No……"

Fatty Jiang spoke suddenly.

"There is a city a few kilometers ahead. It is not an ordinary abandoned city. It was once polluted."

He feared that the target would be cornered and flee into the city.

If that's the case, only Lu Wen can go in alone.

The rest of the team are normal humans, at most they have only mechanically modified their limbs, and flesh and blood will definitely be affected by radiation.

"After so many years, the half-life of those radioactive substances is not so long, and it should have been reduced to a range acceptable to normal people." A member of the team said.

"The area of ​​Kerry City in the north was also hit by nuclear saturation more than two hundred years ago. Isn't it still inhabited now?"

Everyone in the team felt that it didn't matter.

There were no nuclear weapons in that war eighty years ago, and all those weapons had been destroyed long before countless wars.

The polluted areas surrounded by no-man's land are almost two hundred years ago.

These areas were all hit by nuclear weapons at that time, and were determined by scientists to be unsuitable for human habitation within a hundred years.

"I remember some experts surveyed some polluted areas a few years ago and said that the radiation indicators in those places were already quite low and would not cause harm to the human body," Lu Yang said.

"Lu Glasses is right, I have seen this news too."

"There are still some Internet celebrities who go to polluted areas to take photos and attract attention."

"No, this city is different!"

Fatty Jiang projected a map.

Map of the entire planet.

The nine blue dots are the current nine cities, and the rest is the vast and endless uninhabited land and the extreme northern region that may be inhabited.

The area of ​​no man's land has some red spots.

Mostly light red with some deep red.

"The light red areas were hit by nuclear weapons more than 200 years ago. As for the dark red areas...these areas had nuclear power plants in the past."

Fatty Jiang pointed to a crimson spot outside Central City.

The red color of this place seems to be infected by scarlet flesh and blood, dark red, it looks like it has a strong visual impact.

"Fat grandpa, I cherish my life the most, so I made sufficient preparations before departure. The city in front of me was originally built on the basis of a nuclear power plant. The residents of the entire city are the families of the workers who built and maintained the nuclear facilities. .”

Then the power station in the city leaked.

It's not an ordinary leak, but a leak caused by being overwhelmed by hostile forces' nuclear weapons. It's quite a terrifying leak, no different from the end of the world.

The people who survived the nuclear attack came out of the building in a daze.

The dark red sky began to rain, and the super-radioactive rain fell on them.

In the years that followed, their skin began to fester, peeling off layer by layer, and their internal organs also rotted bit by bit, which could not be reversed at all.

That kind of pain is comparable to any kind of torture in the world, and those people finally died in the long pain.

"The whole city is a quarantine zone. Going in is courting death. Anyway, I won't go in. Miss Xia, don't go in either. Those so-called experts only dare to go to light red cities."

In this kind of city, there are likely to be some special creatures with tenacious vitality.

For example, in the purgatory made up of corpses made by the little painter, Lu Wen once saw a snake-like creature with smooth skin, thick and thin arms, and mucus on the surface, crawling around in those corpses.

Bilan's biological database has no record of that creature.

The little painter said that it was the pet that No. 0 found from the polluted area.

These polluted areas can be summed up in two words.

Danger.

"That man is heading towards that city now. It seems that he has already planned his route."

"He's betting that we dare not follow in!"
